"Grandmaster, are you really going to..."
Seeing Feng Yaoyao stand up with a murderous aura, as if she really wanted to kill Ye Chen, Wenren Bingying's face showed concern.
If the grandmaster wanted to kill Ye Chen, it would be effortless, and no one in the entire Jingyang City could stop him. But what if killing Ye Chen offended the behemoth behind him?
Wenren Bingying knew very well that Ye Chen's true background was not the Ye family of Jingyang City, nor the Shenxiao Sect, but the Yourong clan from which his mother came from.
Wenren Bingying didn't have a clear idea of just how strong the You Rong clan was, but she was certain of one thing: all the forces in the Da Gan Kingdom combined couldn't compare to the You Rong clan.
This is a truly colossal entity, whose power is probably comparable to that of the ancient Heavenly Phoenix clan from which Feng Yaoyao originated.
"Do you think I'm just all talk and no action?"
Feng Yaoyao snorted coldly, "This Ye Chen is not only the one who framed your uncle, but also the culprit who caused your uncle's cultivation to be crippled. He and his grandmaster planned to cripple your uncle from the very beginning!"
"So now you know how hateful he is, right? All the suffering your martial uncle endured was thanks to him!"
"I could have let it go if I didn't know about this, but now that I know your uncle was harmed so badly by him, how can I, as his master, tolerate it? I won't be able to quell my anger until I grind him to dust!"
"Master, you mustn't do this lightly."
An Yuxi hurriedly advised, "You are unaware of this. Ye Chen's background is extraordinary. His mother, You Rong Qingyan, is from the You Rong clan, and his father, Ye Tianxiao, comes from the Ye family, which is also a powerful clan on the continent and has great prestige in the Cangming Holy Land. If we rashly kill Ye Chen, I'm afraid it will provoke a bloody revenge from the powerful clans."
"They dare! Do they think the Heavenly Phoenix Clan is easy to mess with? Don't they even know what my status is in the Heavenly Phoenix Clan? Unless they want to start a war with the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, they wouldn't dare to touch me even if they had ten lives!"
Do you think these two clans would offend my Heavenly Phoenix Clan for the sake of Ye Chen?
Feng Yaoyao said with full confidence.
An Yuxi pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Master, if Ye Chen were just an ordinary member of the Ye family, neither clan would dare to retaliate. But he is not ordinary."
"When Bingying broke off her engagement with Ye Chen a few years ago, Ye Chen had lost all his cultivation. Now, less than five years later, I heard that he has already reached the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Master. With such progress, this person must be extraordinary. If he does not have the bloodline of the Spirit Emperor, he probably has an Emperor-level physique."
“Master, as you know, although there is only one level difference between the Emperor-level physique and the Saint-level physique, the gap is like a chasm. Every force regards it as a treasure. Even a powerful clan like the You Rong Clan would never underestimate the existence of the Emperor-level physique. If Master rashly kills Ye Chen, how can the You Rong Clan let it go?”
Hearing what An Yuxi said, Feng Yaoyao frowned. She wasn't stupid; she knew the implications. If Ye Chen really had an Emperor-level physique, then he really couldn't be messed with casually.
"Hmph, then according to you, how should I handle this matter? Should I just swallow my anger?"
“Master, I was acquainted with his mother, Rong Qingyan. Perhaps I could sound her out first to confirm whether Ye Chen possesses an Emperor-level physique before making a decision.”
"Very well, I will go with you."
...
In a private villa with a graceful and charming atmosphere.
An Yuxi and You Rongqingyan sat facing each other in front of a chessboard under a waterside pavilion.
“Yu Xi, it’s been a long time since we played chess. I really miss the days when we studied chess scores and played against each other at the academy.”
You Rongqingyan gracefully placed a black chess piece between her fingertips, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"I miss it too."
An Yuxi's voice was as soft as water.
"Unfortunately, time flies and can never be turned back; we can never go back to the past."
You Rongqingyan's tone was wistful.
An Yuxi gently placed her piece and asked casually, "Qingyan, do you want to win this game?"
You Rongqingyan's eyes flashed, but she said calmly, "Who doesn't want to win at chess? However, since we've been apart for a long time, if you want to win, I don't mind losing a game."
"Your chess skills are very impressive. I'm afraid I still can't win even if you let me win."
An Yuxi said with a half-smile.
A shadow crossed You Rongqingyan's eyes. She put the black chess piece she had just picked up back down and looked directly at An Yuxi, saying, "But I don't want to win this game!"
"Why? Wouldn't it be better to win?"
An Yuxi looked at You Rongqingyan with a strange expression in her eyes.
You Rongqingyan lowered her gaze to the chess pieces on the board and said meaningfully, "If we were on the same side, would you still think I won? Perhaps we don't necessarily have to be opponents."
Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in An Yuxi's eyes: "Could we possibly become allies on the same side? He is your son."
You Rong Qingyan slowly rose, walked to the edge of the waterside pavilion, looked at the spirit carp swimming in the pond below, and said, word by word, "He is not my biological son!"
"What did you say?"
An Yuxi's expression hardened, and she stood up to walk to You Rong Qingyan's side and asked, "Is Ye Chen not your biological son?"
"Yu Xi, let me tell you a secret."
With a slight parting of her red lips, You Rongqingyan began to recount some of the Ye family's unknown past to An Yuxi.
"So... this is how you've lived all these years..."
After hearing the secret revealed by You Rong Qingyan, An Yuxi was greatly shocked and looked at You Rong Qingyan with a complicated expression.
"Yu Xi, you came here specifically to see me, not just to reminisce, right? Can you tell me your true purpose?"
You Rongqingyan looked at An Yuxi with deep eyes.
